I can’t help but think that whatever it is that makes special occasions special gets thoroughly diluted by these increasingly early reminders of them. If it’s the Christmas season for three months prior to the day itself a person has his fill of it long before that day arrives.I'm old enough to remember when Halloween was sacred. Now this......
It’s little wonder we now see a condition called the ”Christmas blues.” How can any day live up to such an advance billing?
All of it is easy for me, as it has been since my early adolescence. I’m far from a literalist as to religion, and I have few people in my life for whom a gift at Christmastime would be in order. I can do my holiday shopping in an hour.
